To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ORLANDO THEODORE BROWN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of New Vienna, in the county of Glinton and Stateof Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Radiators,of which the following is a speciflcation.

My invention is an improvement in radiators, and consists in certainnovel constructions and combinations of parts hereinafter described andclaimed.

Referring to the drawings forming a part hereof, Figure 1 is aperspective view of the improvement with one of the sides removed,

Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section, ig.

3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a section on theline 4-4 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 5 is a perspective View of one of theslides. a

The present embodiment of the invention comprises an annular casingcomprising a base 1, a top 2, and sides 3, 4, connecting the top withthe base. The top 2 is connected by an opening 5 with the side chamber3, and this chamber is connected with the base 1 by an opening 6. Thechamber in the top 2 is provided with an inlet 7, and the chamber in thebase is provided with an outlet 8. The sides 3 and 4, are connected by aplurality of flat tubes 9, the tubes being spaced apart from each otheras shown in F igs. 2 and 5,

and communicating at each end with. the

chambers in the sides 3 and 4. The outer sides of the side chambers 3and ,4 are open, and are normally closed by a cover, the coverconsisting of an inner packing plate 10, an outer plate 11, and asliding cover 12. The plates 10 and 11 are connected to the sides of theside chambers by screws 13, and the sliding cover 12 has its edgesflanged as at 14, the flanged edges engaging lateral flanges 15 on theside walls. 'At intervals each of the side chambers is provided withtransverse guide-ways 16, in whichare movable slides 17 for a purpose tobe presently described.

In operation, the fluid to be treated enters throughthe inlet 7, andpasses from the I chamber. The upper most slide 17 restrains thedownward movement of the fluid constralnlng it to pass across throughthe tubes to the chamber 4, and the upper-most slide '17 in the chamber4, constrains the fluid to return to the side chamber 3. The fluid isthus compelled to travel backwards-and forwards through the tubes untilit reaches. the bottom of the side chamber 3, and passes through theopening 6 into the base l, leaving, the radiator by the outlet 8. Theradiator is provided with a nipple 18 at its top, in. which is threadedaplug 19.

It will be evident fromthe description, that by changing the position ofthe slides 17, that the fluid may be caused to circulate through agreater or lesser travel. It is also evident that by properly arrangingthe slides, a portion of the tubes might becut out from the directtravel of the fluid. The tubes are. spaced apart from each other asufficient distance, so that the air can circulate freely therebetween,and every part of the radiator is accessible without dismantlingordisassembling the radiator. In case of breakage or damage to any one ormore of the tubes, such tube can be closed without interfering with theflow of the fluid through the remaining tubes, thus permitting a closureof a leaking tube without loss of time in repairing.

I claim 1. A radiator comprising a top and a bot- .tom chamber, sidechambers between the ends of the top and bottom chamber, a plurality oftubes extending between the side chambers, each of said side chambershavmg an open outer side, a cover normally closing the side, a pluralityof guide-ways arranged transversely of each side chamber, and spacedapart from each other, and slldes movable in the. guide-ways for thepurpose set forth, the top chamber being provided with an inlet, and thebase chamber with an outlet, and a communication between the top andbase chamber and one of the side chambers.

2. A radiator comprising a hollow annular frame, whose interior isdivided into a plurality of chambers, tubes connecting opposits-chambersin the frame, and removable slides in said opposite chamber for d1-recting the fluid to be radiated through the various tubes. v

3. A radiator comprising oppositely arranged chambers a plurality oftubes connecting the chambers with each other, guide- Ways arrangedtransversely of the side chambers at spaced intervals, and slidesmovable in the guide-ways for the purpose set forth.

4. A radiator comprising oppositely arranged chambers, a plurality oftubes connecting the chambers, slides? arranged trans- Versely of thechambers at spaced intervals, the slides'in one chamber being staggeredwith respect to the slides in the other chamber. I

' 5.- A radiat'or comprisin% oppositely arranged chambers connecte y aplurallty of tubes, and means arranged transversely of the chambers atspaced intervals for pre venting the passage of fluid through thechambers, said means in one chamber being staggered with respect to themeans in the op osite chamber, said means being movable in epen'dentlyof, each other for the purv 5 pose set forth. 7 a

.6. 'A radiator comprising oppositely arranged chambers, a plurality ofspaced tubes connecting thevchambers, and means 1n the chambers forconstraining the fluid to pass a from chamber to chamber throughdifierent sets of tubes, said means being movable independently of eachother for the purpose set forth.

7 A radiator comprising a hollow subing provided with partitions-for thepurpose set forth, the partitions of one chamber being staggered withrespect to the partitions of the other chamber and all of said partitions being independently removable for the purpose set forth.
